A magnetic transducer head wherein confronting surfaces of a pair of magnetic core parts comprised of a ferromagnetic oxide material are notched, and the notch defining surfaces have metallic ferromagnetic layers supported thereby. The method of physical vapor deposition as known per se is used for forming these layers. The transducer coupling gap of each magnetic head is defined by an aligned pair of pole piece layers formed from the deposited metallic ferromagnetic material. The pole piece layers are inclined at a preset angle with respect to the plane of the coupling gap, and have extensions formed of the deposited metallic ferromagnetic material presenting bend contours between the pole piece layers and the lateral sides of the core parts.

Magnetic transducer head

A magnetic transducer head comprising a first magnetic core element and a second magnetic core element, each of the first and second core elements comprising a magnetic ferrite block and a magnetic metal thin film integrated with the magnetic ferrite block. These core elements having a first planar surface and a second planar surface. The magnetic metal thin film being provided on the second planar surface and having an edge thereof facing to the first planar surface, and the second planar surface being slantly provided with respect to said first planar surface. These core elements being bonded together to form an operating magnetic gap between the edge of the magnetic metal thin film on the first core element and the edge of the magnetic metal thin film on the second core element. The magnetic metal thin film on the first core element or the magnetic thin film on the second core element is formed in one common plane. The magnetic metal thin film may be formed of the ferromagnetic metals including Fe--Al--Si alloys, amorphous metal alloys or permalloy. And the magnetic metal thin film having substantially uniform columnar grain structure or uniform magnetic anisotropy, over entire area of the film.
